"Oh...my....gosh!" Bruce said.

"No way!" Clay said.

"She's going to try to walk!?!" Poppy and Viva said, squealing.

"Come on, Melody!" Branch said.

"John, get the camera! Get the camera!" Floyd said.

"Where? It's not in my hair!" John Dory said.

"I think we left it in the living room," Clay said.

John Dory fell over, but ended up doing a roll backwards, running out of the room.

"Don't move, Melody!" He shouted.

Melody giggled and babbled. John Dory came back with the camera and started recording.

"Family!" Melody said.

"Come on, walk to us!" Branch said.

"You can do it!" Bruce said.

"Come on, Melody!" Clay said.

"Come on, come on!" Floyd said, being close to tears.

"Melody, Melody, Melody!" John Dory chanted.

"You got this, sweetie!" Poppy said.

"Go Melody!" Viva cheered.

Melody reached out towards them and then frowned. She sat back down and whined.

"It's okay, sweetie. You can do it," Branch said.

"Brucey!" Melody said.

"Come on, stand up! You got this!" Bruce said.

She stood again, but fell down. "Uh oh!"

"Uh oh!" Everyone said.

"Are you okay, my princess?" Branch said.

Melody wiped her tears, stood once again. "Dada!"

"Walk to us!" Branch said, getting excited.

Melody slowly lifted her left foot and took one step.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Melody slowly moved her right foot.

Everyone gasped.

Melody slowly started to move forward, doing baby steps.

Branch gasped. "Oh my gosh...."

Floyd covered his mouth in surprise.

"SHE'S DOING IT!!!!" Poppy said, clapping.

"GO MELODY!!!!" Bruce, Viva, John Dory, and Clay cheered.

Melody continued to walk, but fell down. She got back up and started walking again.

"SHE'S WALKING, SHE'S WALKING!!!" Bruce clapped and jumped.

"OOOOOHHHHHHH!!!" Floyd and Clay got excited.

"YEAH, MELODY!!" John Dory held onto the camera, smiling.

"Walk to Mommy and Daddy!" Branch and Poppy said.

"Mommy! Dada!" Melody walked towards them with a huge smile on her face.

"Whoooo, that's right!" Bruce said.

"Oh my gosh, she's getting closer!" Viva said, shaking Clay.

"I knooooooow!!! Come on, Melody!" Clay cheered.

"Vamos, Melody!" Viva said, speaking in Spanish. (Come on, Melody!)

Melody screamed in excitement and walked a bit faster. She gave Branch and Poppy a hug. Everyone got excited, clapping and cheering.

Branch and Poppy hugged their daughter, kissing her.

"YAAAAAAAAAY!!!" Everyone cheered.

Bruce, who was in tears, jumped for joy. "SHE DID IT, SHE DID IT!!!"

Floyd, who was also in tears, smiled and wiped his tears. "I knew she could do it!"

"And I got it on camera!!" John Dory said, hugging Floyd.

Viva squealed and spoke in Spanish. "Excelente, Melody!! Buen Trabajo!" (Excellent, Melody! Good job!)

Clay snapped his fingers. "Whoop whoop!"

"Ray, ray!" Melody said.

"That's right! Hooray for you! Mwah!" Branch said, giving Melody a kiss on the cheek.

"You took your first steps today! Hooray, hooray, hooray!" Poppy said.

Melody then walked towards John Dory.

John Dory put his arms out. "Come on! Come to Jon-Jon!"

Melody walked towards John Dory, but passed him, walking towards Viva and Clay.

"What?" John Dory said in shock.

Everyone laughed, including John Dory. Melody came towards Viva and Clay, hugging them.

"YAAAY!!" Viva and Clay cheered.

Melody then walked towards Floyd, who couldn't stop crying for joy.

"Awww, you did it!!" Floyd hugged her.

"Did it!" Melody said.

"Awww, just look at her," Branch said.

"I knooow!! That's our baby girl," Poppy said, giving Branch a squeeze.

Melody then walked towards John Dory. "Jon-Jon!"

"Yaaay!!! You did it!" John Dory said, hugging her.

Bruce walked a bit further and smiled. "Come to Brucey!"

Melody faced him and walked towards him. Bruce clapped and was close to being in tears, watching his little niece walk towards him.

"Brucey! Brucey!" Melody walked and almost fell down, but kept her balance.

When she finally walked towards him, it touched Bruce soo much that he was in tears once again. He picked her up and hugged her.

"You did it!! I'm so proud of you, my Melody!"

"Steps!" Melody said.

"Yes! That's right! Baby steps!" Bruce said, smiling and hugging her.

"EEEEEE WE SHOULD CELEBRATE!!! LET'S INVITE EVERYONE TO THIS BABY FIRST STEPS PARTY!!!" Poppy said.

"Whoo!!!" Everyone said.

"HOORAY!!" Melody cheered.

~An Hour Later~

The Baby First Steps Party was a blast as every Troll that Poppy invited was cheering and celebrating Melody's success of taking her first steps. Bruce especially was happy for his little niece as she was taking her time to walk towards some of the Trolls she knew, hugging them.

"Awww, hi Melody!!" Smidge hugged her.

Sucking on her thumb, Melody waved and hugged her back.

"Wow, Melody, good job," DJ Suki said.

"Awwwwww, you're doing so well," Satin said.

"Yeah. And soon, she'll be a pro at walking for our fashion show," Chenille said.

Melody hugged the twins and then walked towards Synth.

"Awwwwwwwwwww, how adorable! Nice job on the walking," Synth said, hugging her.

"Wow! You're getting good at walking!" Val hugged her and gave her a fist bump.

"Hey, girl! You're doing such a great job," Holly said.

Cooper laughed. "Wow! You are walking!"

"You're doing so amazing, Princess Melody," Prince D said.

"Hi, Melody! Mr. Dinkles and I want to say congrats for taking your first steps," Biggie said.

"Meep!" Mr. Dinkles replied.

Biggie gasped. "Mr. Dinkles! Where are your manners?"

Melody walked towards Guy Diamond and hugged him. "Hug!"

"Awwwww, heey, you're waAaAaaAaAalLlLlLkkkiIiIiiIIiing!!" Guy Diamond said in his autotune voice.

Tiny Diamond jumped onto Melody's hand. "Hey there, sweet Melody. Great job."

"Hi, Tiny Baby!" Melody hugged him. 

"Awwwwww!!!" Tiny said.

Sitting at a round table, Bruce, Floyd, John Dory, and Clay watched their baby niece smiling and having a great time. Bruce especially was so proud of Melody.

"Aww, just look at my Melody now," Bruce said.

"I know right? She's doing so well," Floyd said.

"Definitely. She's becoming a pro at this walking," John Dory said.

"You can say that again," Clay said.

Melody walked towards Bruce. "Brucey! Up, up!"

Bruce picked her up. "Yaaaay!! You did it!"

Floyd smiled. "We are so proud of you, Melody."

"I knew that you could do it," Clay said.

"Me too!" John Dory said.

"Up-ake!" Melody reached her hands out.

"Cupcake? Here you go." Bruce gave his niece a chocolate cupcake.

Melody took a bite of it. "Yum, yum!"

Poppy squealed. "SQUEEEEEE!!! I can't believe our one-year-old daughter is finally walking!! Who knew that she'll be walking today!"

"I know right? In fact, she's getting sooo good at it now," Branch said.

"Mommy!" Melody walked towards Poppy.

Poppy, who was already in tears, squealed. "AAAAAHHHH!!!! Look at you. Walking on your own like a big girl!"

Melody walked towards Branch. "Dada!!"

"Yaaaay!! You did it!!" Branch said.

"And soon she'll be dancing," Bruce said.

"SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!! I can't wait to see her do her first dance," Poppy said.

"MEEEEE TOOOOOO!!!" Viva said.

"Now that would be a HUGE milestone for her," Clay said, picking.

Everyone nodded in agreement, including Bruce who couldn't wait for that moment to come one day. 

Melody walked towards Viva and hugged her. "Auntie Vi!"

"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! HI THERE!!!!" Viva hugged her.

Melody then walked towards Clay.

"Big hug! Awwwwwwwww!!!" Clay picked her up and hugged her. 

"Poopy," Melody said.

"Awwww, she said it again in her cutesy-wootsy voice!!!" Bruce said.

"Uh oh," Floyd said.

"Oh no—" Clay immediately put her down as she walked off.

"Again? Didn't we just change you an hour ago?" John Dory asked Melody who finished eating her cupcake, giving him the innocent look.

"I'll check. Come here, my princess," Branch picked Melody up and did a quick sniff test.

John Dory and Floyd were in shock while Clay groaned and looked away. Bruce, on the other hand was impressed as he saw how much his youngest brother had improve when it comes to his parenting skills.

Branch scrunched up his face. "Yup. You sure did, my princess. Tag, you're it on diaper duty, Popifur."

When Branch booped Poppy's nose, she smirked at him. "Oh you. Okay, come here, Melody—whew! Looks like we need to take a break from the black bean hummus.  Okay, let's get you change."

"Whee!" Melody said.

"Okay, okay. You're getting good at doing diaper checks, Branch," Bruce complimented him.

"Thanks. Got to actually thank you since you did teach us in the first place," Branch admitted.

John Dory was still in shock. "HHHHHHow?"

"Well, first thing is to not overthink, and there are a lot worse things that smelled worse than dirty diapers," Branch said.

Clay groaned. "Ooooooooohhhh my gosh..."

Viva faced him, rubbing his back. "Are you going to be okay?"

Clay shook his head.

"You got to puke again, bro?" Bruce asked.

"AGAIN!?!" Viva and Branch said in unison.

"Awwww, my poor Clay-Clay." Viva gave him a side hug.

Clay gave her a flirtatious smile. "Don't worry, I'll be okay. Whoo! Just need to clear my mind."

"Here, have a vanilla cupcake." Viva fed Clay the cupcake, which he didn't seem to mind because soon they were feeding each other a cupcake while gazing in each other's eyes.

Seeing this made Bruce smile as he found it adorable since he actually ship them two together, even when they were pretty much already in a relationship.

"Well anyways, bros, I just want to thank you again for babysitting Melody," Branch said.

"And thank you for giving us the opportunity to take care of her," Bruce said.

"Yeah, it was a lot of fun," Floyd said.

"So much fun indeed. I love spending time with her so much," John Dory said.

Clay nodded. "Totally. I'm looking forward to babysitting her again soon."

"Well then, would you guys like to babysit her tomorrow?" Branch asked.

Bruce gasped. "Really!?!"

"Uh of course. Who else would I ask? You all will be like the first ones I'll go to. My go-to babysitters," Branch said.

The four brothers got excited, especially Bruce who smiled from ear to ear as he got off his chair and danced to the music that started playing out of the blue. John Dory joined Bruce, dancing with him. Clay, Viva, Floyd, and Branch joined them too as they all danced in unison. Everyone cheered for them and eventually danced too. 

"Man, this party's a hit," John Dory said.

"The best one I've ever been too, bro," Bruce said.

"You can say that again. It's a lot of fun," Floyd said.

"This is one of the most fun things I ever done in a long time." Clay did the bump dance with Viva.

"Bump it, Clay-Clay! Yeah!" Viva said.

"Hey, we're back!" Poppy said, holding on smiling Melody.

"Hey, babe. Shall we dance?" Branch asked.

Poppy slowly put Melody down and held onto her husband's hand. "Totally."

The Broppy couple then took center stage on the dance floor and danced. Now Melody took her time with walking as she came towards Bruce.

"Dance!" Melody said.

"Yeah, let's dance together....the BroZone family way," John Dory said.

"Yeah!" Melody said.

The BroZone family gathered around in front, faced each other with a smile on each of their faces, and danced in harmony. While dancing, Bruce watched everyone danced, including his brothers, Poppy, and Viva. But one Troll he had his eyes on was Princess Melody, who was bouncing on her tiny toes, smiling and clapping. 

With a huge smile on her face, Melody looked at Bruce, Clay, Floyd, and John Dory, and walked towards them, hugging them. Founding what she have done so adorable, they hugged her back.

"Love you!" Melody said.

"Awwwww, we love you too!" Bruce, Floyd, John Dory, and Clay said together.

Bruce, who was now crying in happy tears, faced his brothers who were also in happy tears too as they smiled back at their baby niece, looking forward to babysitting her again soon.
